is available before trying to go hunting for a domain name. This fixes
the following problem: you have +::::::::: in /etc/master.passwd but
NIS isn't running (no ypbind, no domain name set) -- passwd and chpass
will still try to change an NIS password instead of the local one.
shell to one of the following:
- a non-existent file
- a non-regular file
- a file without any execute bits set
The shell is still set to whatever they entered even if the above
conditions exist (hey, it is the super user doing this after all :-),
but this might give the admin. some warning that they are about to screw
themselves and give them a chance to fix it before it is too late.
Inspired by: some new FreeBSD user on USENET who set his root shell
to a shell that doesn't exist and now can't gain access to root (don't
worry, I sent him some mail on how to recover from this).
"make world" to fail if you use the msun math library and
blow away /usr/include and then do "make world". This is because
the msun math.h isn't installed with the other include files before
xlint is built. It finally gets installed when the msun library
is built.
Perhaps "make world" should install the msun math.h file if
it doesn't install the CSRG math.h, to prevent problems
like this in the future.
man pages up to mdoc guidelines and fix some minor formatting glitches.
Also fixed a number of man pages to not abuse the .Xr macro to
display functions and path names and a lot of other junk.
allow the user to install using a Numeric GID or UID.
this brings it in to line with chgrp and chown, ans is required
by some people using FreeBSD in a product.
E.g. for Easter, and entries like "04/SunFirst" calendar will
now report:
04/05* Good Friday (2 days before easter)
04/07* First Sunday...
instead of:
Easter-2 Good Friday...
04/SunFirst First Sunday...
I also modified the calendar files to use the variable day format
for a lot of events so that they will be reported correctly.
E.g. U.S. daylight savings time is now listed as:
04/SunFirst Daylight savings time...
There are still a lot of wrong dates in there for some events
that move from year to year, but I don't have a good calendar handy
right now that I can use for reference.
remote peer will be connected through. This avoids the ``Checking for
invitation on caller's machine'' problem for multi-homed hosts.
Thanks to: Garrett, for his `find_interface' example
problems with tip. There are some hardwired timeouts that ignores the
delay that you can set in the modem configuration file. The hard-wire
delay is to short if the modem has to switch major modes and reset
(ie going from fax to data mode with a reset).
Now my modem transistions from HylaFax control to tip control and ppp mode
without any problems.

a master server and initialize the suser_override flag, but in a non-NIS
environment is should be smart enough to just leave the flag cleared
and return (unless forced with a command-line argument like -y).
Otherwise, it will return an NIS-related error even if NIS isn't
turned on.
Pointed out by: ache
messy 130 column collage, output the system totals -or- info for a
specific interface if -I is given. Also wait for <interval> before
outputting the first sample so that it represents meaningful data (as
opposed to the total since the system was booted - most busy systems
wrap around many times during their operation, so these numbers are
only misleading).
the next line of characters and not cause it to first get

In passwd(1):
- Gut most of yp_passwd.c and leave only a few things that aren't common
to pw_yp.c.
- Add support for -d and -h flags to select domains and NIS server hosts
to use when updating NIS passwords. This allows passwd(1) to be used
for changing NIS passwords from machines that aren't configured as
NIS clients. (This is mostly to allow passwd(1) to work on NIS master
servers that aren't configured as clients -- an NIS server need not
necessarily be configured as a client itself.)
NOTE: Realize that having the ability to specify a domain and hostname
lets you use passwd(1) (and chpass(1) too) to submit update requests
to yppasswd daemons running on remote servers in remote domains which
you may not even be bound to. For example, my machine at home is not
an NIS client of the servers on the network that I manage, yet I can
easily change my password at work using my FreeBSD box at home by doing:
'passwd -d work.net.domain -h any.nis.server.on.my.net wpaul'. (Yes,
I do use securenets at work; temporarily modified my securenets file
to give my home system access.) Some people may not be too thrilled
with this idea. Those who don't like this feature can recompile passwd(1)
and chpass(1) with -DPARANOID to restrict the use of these flags to
the superuser.
(Oh, I should be adding proper securenets support to ypserv(8) and
rpc.yppasswdd(8) over the weekend.)
- Merge in changes to allow root on the NIS master server to bypass
authentication and change any user's NIS password. (The super-user
on the NIS master already has privileges to do this, but doing it
through passwd(1) is much easier than updating the maps by hand.)
Note that passwd(1) communicates with rpc.yppasswdd(8) via a UNIX
domain socket instead of via standard RPC/IP in this case.
- Update man page.
In chpass(1):
- Fix pw_yp.c to work properly in environments where NIS client
services aren't available.
- Use realloc() instead of malloc() in copy_yp_pass() and copy_local_pass().
- Fix silly bug in copy_yp_pass(); some of the members of the passwd
structure weren't being filled in correctly. (This went unnoticed
for a while since the old yppasswdd didn't allow changes to the
fields that were being botched.)
- chpass(1) now also allows the superuser on the NIS master server to
make unrestricted changes to any user's NIS password information.
- Use UNIX domain comm channel to rpc.yppasswdd(8) when run by the
superuser on the NIS master. This allows several new things:
o superuser can update an entire master.passwd.{byname,byuid} entry
o superuser can update records in arbitrary domains using -d flag to
select a domain (before you could only change the default domain)
o superuser can _add_ records to the NIS master.passwd maps, provided
rpc.yppasswdd(8) has been started with the -a flag (to do this,
the superuser must force NIS operation by specifying the -y flag
to chpass(1) along with -a, i.e. 'chpass -y -a 'foo:::::::::')
- Back out the 'chpass -a <new password entry> breaks with NIS' fix
from the last revision and fix it properly this time. The previous
revision fixed the immediate problem but broke NIS operation in
some cases.
- In edit.c, be a little more reasonable about deciding when to
prevent the shell field from being changed.
Submitted by Charles Owens <owensc@enc.edu>, who said:
"I made a minor (one-line) modification to chpass, with regards
to whether or not it allows the changing of shells. In the 2.0.5 code,
field changing follows the settings specified in the "list" structure
defined in table.c . For the shell, though, this is ignored. A quick
look in edit.c showed me why, but I don't understand why it was written as
such. The logic was
if shell is standard shell, allow changing
I changed it to
if shell changing is allowed (per table.c) and it is a standard shell
OR if uid=0, then allow changing."
Makes sense to me.
- Update man page.
appear that ALL the passwd command does is change a users Kerberos
password, since that is incorrect.
Actually, this man page needs a good overhaul to better reflect systems
that don't have Kerberos installed.
Corrected some bogus cross references to man pages that we don't/won't
have and either deleted them, or found a more appropriate man page
that we do have. Various other minor changes to silence manck.
Manck is currently down to about 200 lines of errors, down from
the 500 - 600+ when I started all this.

so that when ar has a problem (like trying to update a read-only
archive), you get a message like:
ar: xyzzy.a: Permission denined

Which doesn't really give the user any indication that the operation
really did fail.
This closes PR# 170.
route.c: look up the netname as-is first before the shifted name. this
makes a big speed difference, as the lookups are generally local
DNS. The shifted names can be very wrong (there is still guessing
and fudging involved) and usually go remote, taking a long time
to fail. If you have the RFC reccomended netnames in your reverse
lookups, this is even faster still.
main.c: dont do a sethostent(1) - this is causing the resolver to use a
VC (tcp) connection to the resolver, which has more overheads and
is slower than the default UDP case. This once made sense when
everything was based on text host tables.

Also, do some man links for the commands under their alternate names.
